I Invented Pinterest...

hehe, well not really...but I feel like I did!!

See...here's "my" version of Pinterest.
Little scraps of paper "pinned" to the cork boards
inside my kitchen cabinet doors.
Recipes, tips and crafty stuff that I use all the time.
Handy, right??
But along came Pinterest and I don't really need this anymore.

So I..., no not me, the hubs, did a little conversion...
down with the scraps,

and up with the measuring cups.
hanging in the bakery cabinet, I really like this, it's so handy.

And while I was at it...I cleaned out my cabinets...

all 20 of them, plus 8 drawers, and our pantry.
These 2 are "show" worthy!

I took everything out of the frig,
cleaned all the shelves and put back "the worthy"!
Not much, mostly just condiments.

I have been Spring cleaning all winter.
I'll show you more tomorrow...
of what this girl from Jersey has been doing to keep herself busy,
through this cold and snowy winter!

So what's your theory on Spring cleaning??
Do it in the winter, when your stuck inside anyway...
Or wait till Spring and spend some of those beautiful
Spring days cleaning...not me!

Wow, you are really organizing things! I started my spring cleaning in January. It's winter, it's cold, and we can't be outside anyway. By the time spring really arrives, we can be outside. It's only 12 above this morning, so spring's a little slow coming this year.

Well I think it looks wonderful. I think I have to do it all of the time. Everything gets so dusty here so it has to be done quite often. But then I happen to love cleaning and playing house. :) I love how great everything looks in its own place.

Actually, I don't think I have ever thought about doing spring cleaning in the winter. I think you are right it should be done when you are stuck inside all the time. I loved your organized pantry; so inspiring. Blessings and hugs!

oh my - you put me to shame!!! Although I did clean out most of my kitchen cupboards at some point this winter - pre Christmas I think. This weekend...it's drag hubby (kicking and screaming if I must) into the garage. Mother/daughter yard sale coming up soon - and we are going to get RID of anything we don't USE!!!

I'm trying to spring clean, but with cats in the house, it's an uphill battle! I just rearranged my kitchen cabinets that I'd cleaned good at Christmas. I've got too many sets of dishes and finally got my Christmas stuff moved out of the way. I save recipes and stuff clipped out of magazines in scrapbooks. Why I don't know because you can find most anything online! But, it's still fun to do.

Hi Debbie! The Spring Cleaning Bug hit me yesterday. I do a deep clean before Easter and before Christmas. But, since it snowed all day today, does today's cleaning count toward this year's Christmas cleaning?I approve of your organization! You may continue! LOL! :)

Hi Debbie, you're a girl after my own heart. Much nicer to clean when you can't get outside!Your pantry is quite spiffy ... organised beautifully.I have a question. What is the Manwich? I can't quite read what it is and I'm curious. Sandwich spread? It's next to the Campbells tin in your pantry. Sorry for being nosey but, well, that's me :D)Cheers now

That looks great and very organized. I am trying to do the same thing. I try to spring clean when I notice things need doing, but sometimes I leave things until I just have to do it all in a rush. Company coming was always good for that :)

The original Pinterest?! Nice! I always love your organizing tips, Debbie! I do a little cleaning every week, and a little more every month. Spring cleaning usually waits for a refreshingly warm day when the windows can be open and the house aired out.

A Little Bit About Me

Welcome, my name is Debbie and this is my blog. I am a 50 something year old woman, married 38 years to the love of my life. I have 2 grown sons, a darling husband and a beautiful home at the Jersey Shore. I started this blog to document my daily adventures, to share my recipes, both old and new and just about anything else that tickles my fancy. I have an unhealthy obsession with knitting, my camera, gardening, scrapbooking and potatoes. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in March 2003, the big bump in my road.
